Update (7:45PM 3/25): It has snowed on and off most of the day. Expect snow showers and gusty winds to continue through dawn. The difference between this snow, and the daytime snow earlier today, is that what falls will actually accumulate. Areas north and west of Asheville could see 1-2 inches of additional snow (more in the higher elevations near the TN border).
I should not have been surprised; however, when I went to bed at 11:00 PM it was 45 degrees in northern Buncombe county, and I thought whatever light snow managed to fall would have great difficulty overcoming the warm ground temperatures. Nevertheless, I woke up to an inch to inch and a half of wet snow blanketing elevated and grassy surfaces around my neighborhood.
For the rest of the day in Western North Carolina, expect continued cold temperatures, with increasing winds, gusting to as high as 45 mpg. Wind chills will dip to close to zero, especially in the high elevations. Furthermore, as the winds turn Northwesterly, upslope snow showers will drop another .5 inch of snow in Northern Buncombe county this evening (higher amounts near the TN border).
